Unplug.. reseat ram and video card. make sure the cooler is tight on the cpu socket. If cooler moved, cpu may be misaligned.
I have the same case, liquid cooling etc but 13700 cpu. Owned 1.5 years and it works great. No issues. The liquid cooling and 1000w power supply are great upgrades. Wish it had more than 2 ram slots. Also only has 2 m.2 ssd slots but they are x4 full bandwidth.
Bought this from the last deal that was posted on here. Received it last Monday and as of this morning my pc won't even boot up. It is stuck on the Alienware screen. Can't even access their bios.

Not a terrible deal with how jacked up all the Nvidia prices are (if this actually ships on time). In a rational world, this would be a little overpriced, but that's not coming back for a couple years, at least.

There are rumors (still?) of a 24GB 5080 coming, but if you're not the type that messes with graphical options for 30 minutes before you play a game, it won't matter. Really, if you're considering a Dell/AW instead of building your own (nothing wrong with that!), this is a good deal.

A 5080 Super or Ti is pretty much a guarantee considering the space between the 5080 and 5090. Probably will be $1499 MSRP or $2k and up in reality

5080 only 16GB is a bummer
That's an NVIDIA thing, completely unrelated to this deal. Rumored 5080 Super will likely have 24 or maybe 32. Then eventually a 5080ti which will definitely have more than 16gb.
My 5080 hasn't run out of RAM on any current gen games, but likely new games will come out that will be RAM hungry. It's a bummer on NVIDIA's part that they only included 16gb on the second from the top model this gen.

You can see the option at checkout—up to 3 credit cards allowed. You can use 2 Chase cards for $50 off each, and 1 Amex (Blue Cash CC also gives you 3% cashback).

Sounds like a good deal until you find out Dell uses a ton of proprietary parts in this. You won't ever be able to upgrade or change out the motherboard, PSU, etc. Better hope it doesn't fail eventually cause then you're stuck trying to get help from Dell customer support.

3 Chase cards with $50 + R CB @ 15% make this an easy choice for me. I was hunting a MSRP GPU but those are mythical. Now to attempt to rehome my current PC to make this a really slick deal. Thanks for posting.

Total with Tax $ 2,408.00
Chase Bonus $ (50.00)
Chase Bonus $ (50.00)
Chase Bonus $ (50.00)
R CB @ 15% $ (330.00)
Chase CB (normal) $ (30.00)
Net Price $ 1,898.00
